Depends. Did you like the original Wipeouts on the PS1/PS2? Seemed a good port, if you asked me - a definite time-sapper if you got into it... D.

Dink - I'm praying that you're right on this one m8. Now that the bloody card has turned up, I'm reading all sorts of horror stories on other forums - some users reporting BF2 performing in single-figure framerates after the X-Fi install! :( Half of me is thinking of returning the card...

Did you get my email, m8?

LOL :) "Look, your power goes off and this is a big battery in a box. Ideally it will give your kit enough juice until the power comes back. Any questions? Nope? Right - off to the bar we go..." D.

Lee - I know what you mean m8. I've had 5 different CL cards - going back to the original SoundBlaster Pro and each had their own quirks. The best one I've had to date was the complete and utter system crash of an Audigy card being installed whilst the PC it was in was connected to a HP...

It was really the only option available to me to improve the spec & performance on my PC. I'm limited to 32-bit CPU and have already maxed that with a 3200XP and the 9800 Pro limits me to the AGP bus. The nVidia audio codecs just can't handle s**t-loads on screen at once. In online BF2...

Nope - never been. When I've spoke to various people at Sophos though, all seem decent enough. If you get a decent amount of scran from there, it can't be bad! ;) D.

We use Sophos on a corporate licence basis. Top-drawer product. Haven't seen any open day info coming through here though? D.

Yikes - that's bad. :)

Looks to be the next upgrade on my PC. It may also have something to do with the fact that I'll be able to select 'Ultra High' in audio settings for Battlefield 2 now. :D http://www.soundblaster.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=208&product=14000...

Forget the 'normal' cleaning. Get the chisel prepped and ready - these b******s attract dirt like flies round s**t.... ;) D.

I think we're going slightly too deep for Tiger's original request, here though! :) D.

Personally, I have a massive distrust of wireless stuff. However, it's a real pain in the ricker that those two buildings in-between won't co-operate. It's hardly like you're fitting massive air-conditioning ducts between the buildings, is it? In the same way, we're in a row of 4 buildings...

Ah! I Honda Teggy Type-R on the way soon, then? D.

Still looked cleaner than mine m8. Wanna swap for a black car?! ;) D.

Was is it that your doing, exactly?

If he wins, he'll probably receive a personal anal probing by Mr. Gates himself.... D.

You probably didn't m8 as I parked that far away from the entrance, I'm almost paying ground-rent on Jaguar's forecourt! ;) D.

Friggin' superb colour that. It suits the Vee perfectly, imo.... D.

Plus points:- Tints (you can get away with them on a light-coloured car) Alloys - look good... So-so point:- Rear light clusters - not sure if I like them... Bad point:- The grille. Not a good move m8! But hey, each to their own! :) D.

Take a HSF off a running Athlon and a running P4 and see which one lives! Ok, so the Intel throttles back whereas the AMD will redline to oblivion, but surely that's a useful feature to have? I'd rather have a CPU running at 2% but still working than one that went pop because it wasn't cool...

Spotted your Willy in the car-park (oo-er) about 20mins ago.... D.

Come on Griff - you have to admit that they are. I'm out-and-out pro-AMD, but I know their limits. Build quality isn't one of them! ;) D.

He's got a point. I can't see many hood-wearing scroats being concerned with Nintendos (nowhere near fackin 'ard enough tobe seen playing Mario, is i?) - likewise with PCs as they take some intelligence to use. XBoxs aren't chavvy - yet, either.... Let's face it, if the set designer on a...

I've dug-out my old n50 Nostromo gamepad for the PC and I'm trying to get used to it again... Anyone else use that or the newer n52 model? I've tried it on a few games of BF2 against the bots with mixed success, tbh. :o I guess more practice is required....! If anyone uses an n50 and has...

Tony, I use MD a fair too. I'll have a look at some part numbers in the morning for you. AMD are great, stable and powerful processors SO LONG as you give them decent cooling. Intel with their P4's (a bit like Heinz, in 57 varieties :clown: ) are arguably a lot better built are more resistant...

Ah, the joys of PC building! You'll probably have several suggestions on what's best, but personally, I like Asus & AMD combinations - even though I'm running an MSI mobo at the moment. This in mind, I think the best Asus board you can get is the following:-...

Actually saw my first view of a 360 today. Out doing some Chrimbo shopping in Bury and they had the full 360 setup in GameStation. Had the King Kong game on and two teenies looked like they were getting semi's on just playing it..... "Look at the f**king graphics, just look at the fooking...

Nope - an engineer for the entire duration of the game. Sat in a T-90 tank for the most of it. Even the AT bots are numb as f**k! ;) Even when I did get hit, a quick jump-out and repair was usually all it took... A bit pissed that I didn't reach the ton mark though. D.

Toypop - the PlayStation was the most pirated console in history, yet Sony still made a bomb from it.... ;) Personally, I'm a PC man. You will never get a console person to see the appeal in the PC platform - regardless of how powerful a PC is or will get. I reformatted my PC for the first...
